Palácio Chiado

If you’re looking for someplace to feel extra fancy, Palácio Chiado is your move. This opulent and extravagant restaurant, cocktail bar, and dancing spot with big ‘20s vibes is housed in a restored 18th-century palace in the heart of the Chiado neighborhood. 

There are two distinct areas inside: The Salla, a wood-paneled cocktail bar that’s perfect for beginning or ending your night, and the main multi-room restaurant, which you’ll find at the top of a grand staircase. While you should definitely scope out the restaurant—especially to catch a glimpse of the massive gold lion with wings suspended from the ceiling—we like this place best for a drink at the bar.
